Owners of a Motorola DROID 4 device can now download and install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on their mobile phones, courtesy of a CyanogenMod 9 ROM.
The ROM was announced on the XDA-Developers forum by member Hashcode, and packs not only the latest flavor of Google’s mobile operating system but also support for Verizon’s LTE network, it seems.
According to its maker, the ROM is quite stable and has a lot to offer to those who will choose to download and install it on their devices.
However, there are some issues that need attention, including problems with the phone’s camera, which will work with errors.
Additionally, the ROM’s developer notes that HW Video Codecs are still work in progress, and that Bluetooth cannot connect, even if it is on.
At the same time, users should note that an issue related to the phone’s data connection might also appear, though it can be resolved easily, straight from the device.
After reboots, the phone might not show available data connections. To change that, users will need to head over to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> More -> Mobile networks, and switch to GSM-only, wait a few seconds, than change back to LTE / CDMA.
Additionally, some of those who installed this CyanogenMod 9 ROM on their Motorola DROID 4 devices reported issues with the WiFi connectivity.
Apparently, the CM9 built-in Wifi Tether app does not work. Instead, users will have to open the WiFi Tether app that was bundled into the ROM. There they will have to go to Settings and change Device-Profile to "Motorola Droid RAZR (CDMA/LTE)."
As you can see, there still are various caveats with the software, which means that it would be a great idea to wait a bit before downloading and installing it on your devices.
You should also keep in mind that this is an unofficial ROM for your device, and that installing it will void the phone’s warranty. You will be the only one held responsible in case anything goes wrong during the installation process.
